I love these!

So cute and a great way to practice portion control. HA HA!

2.  Ice Cream Sundaes and Cookie Spoons

I made these sundaes and the cookie spoons for the 4^th. The flavor combinations were delicious and the spoons were so much fun.

I used a spoon-shaped cookie cutter to make the spoons because it seemed easier than individually cutting out each spoon with a pairing knife as the recipe suggested. Here’s a link to where I bought the cookie cutter.

3.  Green Tea Crème Brulee

Sounds like a strange combo, but seriously so delicious.

4. Ring Pop Popsicles

Put some ice on the hands of those you love with these fun and unexpected Jewel popsicles. The molds are sold by Tovolo so you can fill them with whatever flavor you like.

5. Ice cream cupcakes

I came across these on I’m a Weekend Cook, a blog devoted to healthy cooking and eating. I think they’re brilliant because they allow you to have just the right amount of ice cream and cake and still get into your skinny jeans the next day.

Until next time,
